The intention of Fraud and Corruption workshops is to sensitise staff on identification and management of fraud and corruption at the workplace. The awareness workshops were conducted for Mpumalanga, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and National Office. Due to capacity constraints the target was not met. The remaining workshops will be finalised in the second quarter.
There were 12 new forensic cases and 1 finalised case during the period under review. Half of the staff members were involved in a major forensic case involving approximately 80 employees and an estimated value of R1.5 million in the Eastern Cape. The quarterly target was therefore not achieved.
There are 107 ongoing forensic cases (old) and 16 were finalised during the period under review. Progress to appoint new staff to improve case finalisation for forensic investigations has begun. This will enable the department to fast track cases and achieve the annual target.
The department is required to complete integrity competency for all SMS members. A target of 65% for the year has been set due to capacity constraints and taking into account the fact that the department started the year off a low base. This activity is running behind schedule and will require urgent interventions. Some of the challenges that are being addressed include:
There is very little progress achieved with regards to the requests for vetting of senior members;
Delay in the implementation of the automated system needs support from ISM;
Lack of vetting investigators, however, HR is assisting with capacitating of the unit.
